they wacked them
a gold licence is what diggers used on the gold fields, during the mid to late 1800's. If they did'nt have one they would have been hung or shot dead.
A gold rush
A gold mining licence, sometimes also called a miners' right, cost thirty shillings on the Australian goldfields in 1853. It had to be renewed regularly, and it had to be produced whenever the troopers came around to check. These checks were invasive and often quite violent, which is one of the main reasons why there was so much unrest on the goldfields in the early years of the Australian gold rushes.
Peter Lalor was not leader of the Ballarat gold rush. The gold diggers who were unhappy with the gold licencing system and unfair licence checks elected Lalor to be leader of the rebellion which came to be known as the Eureka Stockade.
